In five years, the United States has seen a historic burst of oil and natural gas production, easing our insatiable hunger for energy. A new drilling process called fracking has made us the world’s fastest growing energy power, on track to surpass Saudi Arabia by 2020. THE FRACKERS looks beyond the headlines to show how the revolution really happened, the surprising wildcatters who made and lost billions, and the environmental and geopolitical impact on the nation and the world. The Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Center for Leadership and Ethics was pleased to host the author of The Frackers: The Outrageous Inside Story of the New Billionaire Wildcatters, Gregory Zuckerman, for a book talk on Monday, February 17, 2014.

This event was moderated by Professor Jason Bordoff, Director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University
